1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: By the grace of God, former President Donald Trump has

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: now survived two attempted assassination attempts. So, you know, how

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: do we get here as a country and why does

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: this keep happening. You know, we're in the home stretch

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: right now, heading into November fifth of what is probably

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: the most important election of our lifetimes. It's so important

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: that people are trying to kill Donald Trump. Americans are

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: on hard times right now. You've got vast majority of

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: Americans living paycheck to paycheck. We've got instability around the world,

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: we have open borders. You know, the country is a

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: mess under the current leadership, and we need change. There's

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: also just been this feeling of hopelessness a little bit

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: since COVID, a feeling that maybe the American dream has

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: passed us by, that the future is bleak. And so

15
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: I think it's really important to have leaders who have

16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: faced adversity, who have leaders who stand strong, who have

17
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: leaders who have served this country and are willing to

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: serve again. And one of those individuals is Captain Stan Brown.

19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: He is running for Senate in the state of Nevada.

20
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: He's the Republican candidate there and he's a credible life story.

21
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this is someone who served in Afghanistan. He

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: sustained third degree burns to thirty percent of his body

23
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: in that service.

24
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: He reserved a purple heart as a result, and.

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: Instead of letting that define the rest of his life,

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: and instead of giving up, he persevered. He got married,

27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: he had kids, he started a business, He's lived a

28
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: filled life, and now he wants to run for Senate

29
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: and bring that hopefulness to the United States Senate and

30
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: the country that leadership to the United States Senate. So

31
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: I figured, at this time, at this feeling of hopelessness

32
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: a little bit, with all this craziness going in the world,

33
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: we need to have Sam Brown on the show to

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: bring some of that light, to bring some of that hope,

35
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: and to have a real leader on the show. So

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy learning more about Captain Sam Brown.

37
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: I know I did stay tuned. Captain Sam Brown. It's

38
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: an honor to have you on.

39
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: The show, Sir.

40
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: I know that you know election cycles are crazy, and

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: you know your life is pretty hectic right now, so

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: we appreciate you making time for the show.

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: You bet. It's uh, there's you know, under fifty days

44
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: left until probably the most important election of our lifetime.

45
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: So I'm happy to be here and just share wide

46
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 3: Nevati Center race is so important with all the listeners.

47
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: You know, it really does feel like probably the most

48
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: important election cycle of our lives. You know, we've seen,

49
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, President Trump's faced two assassination attempts in recent months.

50
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: You know, I guess, how do you think.

51
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: We got to this point as a country and why

52
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: does it keep happening?

53
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: Look, unfortunately, we've we've got to look at kind of

54
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: the heart and soul of the nation, and division, lies,

55
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: hostility have replaced, you know, Mayoran values of of you know, love,

56
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: you know, just hope, grace, and and it's it's something

57
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: that we've we we can't let hate win. We've got

58
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: to We've got to love and and you know, we

59
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 3: we've got to have people who are who are willing

60
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 3: to do what's best for all Americans, not just some.

61
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: And you know, at the end of the day, that's

62
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: what President Trump is about. You know, people on the

63
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: left try and characterize him in really disparaging ways. But

64
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 3: I've been with President Trump. We all saw him stand

65
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: up at Butler, Pennsylvania after being shot, literally shot and

66
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 3: with blood on his face, you know, get up and

67
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: in the face of that threat, show the American people

68
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: he's still here to fight for us. Now, some people

69
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: don't like the word fight, but look, these are dire times.

70
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 3: Americans are are losing hope that the American dream can

71
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: continue to be alive, that we can all have a

72
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: chance to realize our dreams. And some things are worth

73
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: fighting for. And President Trump doesn't have to do this. Frankly,

74
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: I don't have to do this. I've served my country

75
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: before in uniform and was wounded in Afghanistan, medically retired.

76
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 3: I'm a disabled veteran. I started a new life, you know,

77
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 3: been married for fifteen years, have three kids, started a business.

78
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 3: But the times are really that desperate. It's time for

79
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 3: those who can to step up and try and lead

80
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 3: us back to a better time.

81
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 2: No, we do need that leadership right now. You know,

82
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you about that.

83
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: So I thought one of the best moments for the

84
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: former president during the debate was when he was talking about, well,

85
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm a different kind of president. I

86
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: fire people. And he said that in response to you know,

87
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris pointing out that people who used to work

88
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: for him have been critical, and he said, well, you know,

89
00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: I fire people.

90
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: And then he point out out, well, you don't fire anyone.

91
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: Your administration does not fire anyone, and you didn't fire

92
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: anyone after the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. As you pointed out,

93
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: you served in Afghanistan. You sustained third degree burns to

94
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: thirty percent of your body in that service, receiving a

95
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: purple heart. I guess how frustrating for you has that

96
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: lack of accountability. Then you know that lack of accountability

97
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: that led to thirteen service members being killed and then

98
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: no one in the administration being punished off for such failure.

99
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: Well, it's infuriating. And here's why. On that day that

100
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: we lost thirteen brave men and women, that wasn't just

101
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: a loss of those service members' lives. That was a

102
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: permanent loss to families, Families that entrusted their loved ones

103
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 3: to the country and to leaders that should should do

104
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 3: the right thing. And the Biden Harris administer creation failed

105
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: those families, They failed the country, They failed the service

106
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 3: members who served, their sacrificed some others gave the ultimate

107
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 3: sacrifice in those families. Every memorial day and every day

108
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 3: that is the anniversary of the loss of their loved one.

109
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 3: Are reminded by that leadership matters and appreciate President Trump

110
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: being willing to say and do things that aren't common

111
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 3: in government.

112
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: I'll put it to you this way.

113
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 3: When I was in the military, if someone failed their mission,

114
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 3: there was accountability. There's no question about it. It wasn't controversial.

115
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 3: When I got into business, you delivered, you did what

116
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 3: you were supposed to do. If you failed to produce,

117
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: there were consequences. Again, nothing controversial about that. But seemingly

118
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: in the government sector there's some sort of weird exception

119
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 3: that failure lack of performance doesn't require accountability. President Trump

120
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 3: demonstrated that he's willing to do that, and we've got

121
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: to get back to a place where the government and

122
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: the people in the government work on behalf of Americans

123
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: and when they fail, they don't have a chance to

124
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 3: fail again. There's too much a stake. We have got

125
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 3: to get it right for America.

126
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: But it feels even more broad than just the federal government.

127
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: For some reason, it just feels.

128
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: Like we I don't know, just feels like society.

129
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: As a whole, like we don't have the same work ethic,

130
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: we don't have the same drive. I don't know, I

131
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: don't know what is behind that, but it just feels

132
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: like it's more of a societal thing. I mean, specific

133
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: to federal government, but you know, I don't know, we're

134
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: broad these days.

135
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: Well look, I mean, look, I'm a parent with school

136
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: aged children, and I hear this from others, and it's

137
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 3: been my observation the education, our education system broadly across

138
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: the country and specifically with the Nevada is faiailing our children.

139
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: And I think part of it it goes back to accountability.

140
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: So if you know, we're talking about the exception that

141
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: is the government, there's also a lack of accountability within

142
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: the school system. Kids kids nowadays aren't always required to

143
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: perform at a certain level to pass. You know, we

144
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: have school districts out there that pass kids onto the

145
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 3: next grade even if they haven't hit the minimum requirements

146
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: and reading, writing, or arithmetic. I mean, it's setting these

147
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: children up for failure. And because of the economic headwinds

148
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 3: and just the lack of savings, the increase of debt

149
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 3: that so many households have out there, where you have

150
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 3: parents that are packing up second jobs, or maybe you had,

151
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 3: you know, one parent that was able to stay at

152
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: home and now they've got to go to work too.

153
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 3: It's getting tougher and tougher for parents to be more

154
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 3: active and lead and hold their kids accountable. And when

155
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: it's not happening in the classroom and it can't happen

156
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 3: at home, Yeah, it starts to feel like work at

157
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: and our ability as Americans and the next generation to

158
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 3: be equipped to be successful is diminishing.

159
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it might come down to, you know, sort of

160
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of hopelessness, as you pointed out with

161
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, just even financially, with so many Americans struggling

162
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: to make ends meet and feeling like there's no light

163
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: at the end of the tunnel. And then when you

164
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: lack leadership at the top, I think it, you know,

165
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: it kind of all seems even.

166
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: More burdensome and more troubling. We've got more with Captain

167
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 2: Sam Brown.

168
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: But first, as we approach the one year mark of

169
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,599
Speaker 1: the horrific events of October seventh and Israel, the International

Speaker 1: and highlight the end weavering support of Christians for.

00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,640

Speaker 1: We cannot stay silent, We cannot stay on the sidelines

183
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,720

188
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: You know, I wanted to ask you. I think this

189
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: biopoint is just kind of you know, shows shows the

190
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: complexity of life in the sense of, you know, so

191
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: you were rehabbing from your injuries and that's when you

192
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: met your wife. US Army First Lieutenant Amy Larson who

193
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: worked in your burn unit as a dietitian. So you know,

194
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: here you are going through I imagine what was probably the

195
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: difficult time of.

196
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 2: Your life, and you ended up meeting the love of

197
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: your life.

198
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 3: It's certainly not what I expected. There's like, I'm going

199
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 3: to share the greatest lessons I ever learned. And it

200
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 3: was really demonstrated by two people. And this didn't come

201
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 3: from a from a you know, a historical you know,

202
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 3: president or a commanding general of mine or anything like that.

203
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: It came came from one of my soldiers. And when

204
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,599
Speaker 3: I was burning there in the desert of Afghanistan and

205
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 3: wounded to a point where I thought I was going

206
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: to die, I literally gave up the will to live, Lisa,

207
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 3: and and I was in that moment waiting for death,

208
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: which was frankly going to be relief from the pain.

209
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 3: The voice of one of my soldiers screamed out, Sir,

210
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: I've got you, and they gave me a spark of hope.

211
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: But it wasn't his words alone that saved my life

212
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: that day. It was his actions. He followed those words

213
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: up with literally running to my aid and smothering these

214
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: flames and putting them out the thing that was killing me,

215
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 3: and so I survived. And then Amy this first Lieutenant

216
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 3: Amy Larson. They're in the burning it at a time

217
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: when I was, you know, grappling with the professional loss

218
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: of identity. I'm no longer going to be able to

219
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 3: be an infantry officer, and the personal loss of identity

220
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 3: because my face was so disfigured and my arms and

221
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 3: my legs were scarred from burns. She too loved me

222
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 3: and and and you know, and loved me enough to

223
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: marry me and to start a family with me. And

224
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 3: so the the point is right now, we hear from

225
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 3: so many politicians. All they do is offer us their words,

226
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: but they don't understand our pain in many cases, and

227
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: they're not willing to come be a part of part

228
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: of the solution that we desperately need. And so that's

229
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: what I offer. You know, I'm applying those lessons learned

230
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 3: from my soldier and from my wife that the American

231
00:12:54,840 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 3: people are hurting. Nevadams are hurting. I seek you. Years ago,

232
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 3: I was working in an Amazon fulfillment center while I

233
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 3: was trying to get my business up off the ground,

234
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: and I was able to start it, get it going,

235
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 3: and I left Amazon and built a successful small business,

236
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 3: but I sold it a couple of years ago to

237
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 3: focus on trying to put myself back into the fray

238
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 3: for Americans in Nevedens, who who desperately need someone to

239
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 3: understand not only the struggles but also the solutions.

240
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: When you're you're a father of three as well, which

241
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: I imagine as a driving, you know force behind you know,

242
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: wanting to enact change right now and wanting to set

243
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: this country on a different.

244
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: Trajectory what we're all.

245
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: Has faith had in your life and in shaping your life?

246
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 3: It would be fair to say that faith is one

247
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 3: of my you know, sort of defining and guiding lights.

248
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 3: I For me, I couldn't come out of that battlefield

249
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 3: having given up the will to live. A version of

250
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 3: me died that day. And then when when my soldiers

251
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 3: got to me and put those flames out and saved

252
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: my life, I realized that I've been saved for a

253
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 3: reason and for a purpose. And I couldn't I couldn't

254
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 3: comprehend what that would look like in three months or

255
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: five years, or now sixteen years this month from that point.

256
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: But it was such a profound moment to go from

257
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 3: giving up the will to live to realizing I was

258
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 3: going to survive that I've I've always had that as

259
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 3: a grounding sort of anchor to hold on to despite

260
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 3: the turmoil or the you know, the anxiety or the

261
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 3: fear of different things in life. And look for people

262
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 3: who you know, I want to go learn more about

263
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 3: my life and what brought me to that point, and

264
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 3: then what brought me to this point of serving in

265
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 3: pursuit of winning a Senate election. They can read all

266
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 3: about it. I just literally released this book on September fourth,

267
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 3: on my live day, and the book is called it

268
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: Live Day, Finding Purpose and Hope after losing Everything, and

269
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: they can get it on Amazon. But it's the purpose.

270
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 3: So that was to encourage people that yes, life will

271
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 3: be tough. We all suffer in some capacity. But for me,

272
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 3: I found strength to push through the pain and to

273
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 3: maintain hope because of my faith.

274
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: You know, I think that's sort of a hopefulness that

275
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: you know, ur society needs right now, you know, during

276
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: these times. I think just since COVID there's just been

277
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: sort of a darkness kind of you know, dark cloud

278
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: kind of over you know the country, and and you know,

279
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: maybe even just the world. More broadly, it seems you.

280
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 3: Know what do you that literally just tweeted earlier today?

281
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 3: So this is his tweet. Excuse me? His post on

282
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 3: x atheism left an empty space. Secular religion took its place,

283
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 3: but left the people in despair, childless Heydonism, sance care.

284
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 3: Maybe religion's not so bad to keep you from being sad.

285
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: We've got more in the Nevada Senate race, but first,

286
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: in these uncertain times, rising crime in America's neighborhoods endangers

287
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: the safety of loved ones.

288
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: Nearly fifty years ago, with just two hundred.

289
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: And twenty eight dollars their entire savings, Sabers founder set

290

296
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five feet. The real advantage even if

297
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: you miss it creates a six foot pepper cloud causing

298
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,080

00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: those who feel like, you know, maybe the American dream

314
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: is unattainable and it's you know, those days are behind

315
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: us as a country.

316
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: Well, look, I mean, so there's there's policy things that

317
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 3: I want to accomplish, and you know it begins with

318
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 3: with making life more affordable. You know, in Nevada, we've

319
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 3: got a housing crunch that is leading to high prices

320
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: in housing, and not only just for buyers, but for renters.

321
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 3: And there's a lot of people that are at risk

322
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 3: of losing their home or have lost you know, the

323
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: roof over their head because of that. We need lower

324
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: prices in housing, but we also need the essentials to

325
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 3: be more affordable. I'm talking about food, fuel, and medication.

326
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 3: And look, you know, we we've got proposals like ending

327
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 3: taxes on tips, ending tax on our social security benefits

328
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 3: for seniors. These are things in kind of economic policy

329
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 3: that I want to work to achieve. But we also

330
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: have got to secure our border. It's I don't think

331
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 3: this is even really a disputable issue anymore. And confronting

332
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 3: the cartel as part of that, the cartel has been

333
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 3: a delivery organization for fentanyl. The human trafficking. Look, the

334
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 3: government estimates there's been over three hundred thousand unaccompanied minors

335
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 3: who've been trafficked across our border into the US that

336
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 3: they've lost accountability of. They don't even know where these

337
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 3: children are anymore. I mean, this is a human tragedy.

338
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 3: And these are things that we can work on from

339
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 3: a policy standpoint, but the bigger picture underlying thing is

340
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 3: if me winning this race and beginning to work on

341
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 3: those things can give people hope to hold on to,

342
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 3: to not extinguish the belief the American dream is still there,

343
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 3: then that's that's part.

344
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: Of the victory too, Sam Brown. I've really enjoyed getting

Speaker 1: to know you. I truly hope you make it to

346
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: the Senate and I think we need leaders like you,

347
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: so we'll be praying for you. And then where where

348
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: can I know you've given it out previously, but why

349
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: don't you give it out again where people can go
